Question

A retail store has announced to its employees that half of them will be laid off after a two-week, random review of their personnel records. No current performance appraisals or individual interviews are being held. Over the next two weeks, many of the employees are arguing, fighting, and doing a poor job of taking care of their customers. What aspects of stress most likely started these behaviors?

A. Pressure and conflict
B. Uncontrollability and frustration
C. Pressure and frustration
D. Uncontrollability and conflict

Answer 1

Answer: b. Uncontrollability and frustration

Step-by-step explanation:

Appreciation in job done despite an impending sack helps, When people are told that they'll be dropped from their jobs, it is very much understood they would loose focus in carrying out their task. Most people pen their lives for their jobs, so when told this they work with the mindset of "after all I'm leaving soon, so it doesn't matter". This thought pattern affects their mind and they attend to matters uncontrollable with frustration.
